DUBAI — Dubai has achieved a landmark economic milestone, recording more than $100 billion in foreign direct investment inflows over the past 24 months — surpassing Singapore and London in the same period, according to the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism.
Technology and fintech attracted the largest share at $31 billion. Real estate, advanced manufacturing, and professional services followed. Analysts credit Dubai’s tax environment, world-class infrastructure, and proximity to high-growth markets as primary drivers.
What’s Driving the Surge
The record FDI figure reflects a fundamental shift in global capital flows, with investors from Europe, Asia, and the Americas increasingly choosing Dubai as their gateway to markets across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.
